Sam Clampman: Coney Island (Tuesday Class)

Coney Island is one of the most historic, scenic and fun places in all of New York City. It is located on the south shore of Brooklyn and is framed by the Atlantic Ocean. There are so many places to see and food to taste at Coney Island. From the world’s famous Nathan’s Restaurant, home of the annual Hot Dog eating contest, to Gargiulo’s old school banquet-hall Italian eatery, Coney Island has something for everyone. Aside from the food choices, you can take in the annual Mermaid Parade down Surf Avenue, watch fireworks from the famous boardwalk during the summer, take in a Brooklyn Cyclones ballgame, or visit the aquarium. If thrills are what you crave, take a ride on the Cyclone (the world’s oldest wooden roller coaster) and the Wonderwheel or spend a fun day at Luna Park. No matter what you do, a day in Coney Island will be a delicious and fun-filled day.

Sam Clampman – EDITED

Hi, my name Sam Clampman. I just finished a six-month internship at Walt Disney World in Orlando. That experience, has confirmed to me that pursuing a career in hospitality is the right path for me. I enjoyed my time working in the food services at the Port Orleans French Quarters. Ā During my two years at Nassau Community College, I worked at Abercrombie and Fitch in the Roosevelt Field Mall as a Brand Representative. I feel my best quality, and why I am well suited to a career in hospitality, is my personality. I have been told many times that I am a people person. I am hopefulĀ thatĀ my degree in Hospitality from City Tech will lead to a successful career in Restaurant or Hotel Management.
